Default RE: Bowtech driving me crazy

Come on Pat, your silence is DEAFENING!!!!! Which is it??? Or are you too busy trying to decide which dealer you want to go after??? Trykon, I hope you do get your bow soon, and you get to enjoy it thoroughly. I am not trying to take anything away from the bow, but I am trying to put forth a little background info on why you may have to wait "forever" to get it.

Maybe the reason you can go in and pick up a Vectrix anytime is that not as many people are buying them.
Not likely, there are a lot of them being sold. And productions at Hoyt seems to be doing well near as I can tell. I haven't heard anyone complaining about having to WAIT for a Hoyt Bow.

Nodog,
I am just trying to shed some light on why his waitmay betaking so long, nothing more. Even though the others here think I am bashing BowTech, I am not, I have said very good things about the BowTech bows also, they just keep "missing" that part. Heck, Pat works for them, you wouldn't expect him to be happy when someone is letting out a "corporate secret," would you. Seems he's even trying to find out which dealer I talked to so he can "hush" him (refer to post where he asked what dealer I go to, and offered directions to a dealer that may have bows available, then got mad because I told him to help someone who still hasn't gotten his bow he says he "put money on" almost 2 months ago).

I've been around for a while and can say that bowtec's limb problems have been so numerous that even I noticed the frequency at which they were happening. I don't even care! Many said that they were being taken care of, but I said how so, It's one thing to have a recall and fix a problem, it's another to keep sending out bad limbs and replace them only after there's a complaint. Some complained of it happening up to 4 times on the same bow.
The statement in the BOLD may be BowTech's salvation. I read on another thread about BowTech using solid limbs, not laminated. Not sure if the cost is that different, but I'd tend to believe that is laminated are better, then a $700 bow should come with laminated limbs. If BowTech's came with laminated limbs, they'd probably be even better, and they are good now. I had a hard time not buying an Allegiance of a co-worker last fall when he offered it up fo $450, and would have if I'd had an extra $450 around. But having a pregnant wife, and all of the unknown expenses I had to look forward to, I opted against that idea. But the bow shot great, and was super fast. Were that bow available today, I'd buy it, even if it IS a BowTech. So don't get me wrong, I am not bashing, just trying to shed light.
